DESTINATION
DUBLIN
everyone in Dublin!
Make sure to venture outside Dublin as
well, to experience Irelands breath-taking
landscape. In the east of the country, the
granite Wicklow Hills sit in contrast to the
horse-grazing plain of the Curragh just a
few kilometres away. In Connemara on
the west coast, you can walk from beach
to mountain, from seaweed-covered bay
to lily-covered lough, in just a few hours.
Youll see that Irelands reputation as having
some of the most beautiful and unique
landscapes in the world is fully justified.

DELFIN LIVING:
ACCOMMODATION
Your accommodation is a really important part of your experience when studying abroad. There are lots
of different options available, depending on what you would like. Some students like to stay with a host
family, so they can be more integrated with the local culture. Other people really like our house shares
its becoming a really popular choice! where they share a house or apartment with other language
students. Many choose the residence, which are usually blocks of rooms or apartments, with students
sharing facilities, like in university. Its a good idea to book at least a few weeks accommodation with the
school at the start of your programme, to make sure you have somewhere to stay when you arrive in the
country. Speak to the accommodation managers in our schools to arrange accommodation, or if you
need a hand with anything its our pleasure to help.

HOMESTAY ACCOMMODATION
For many students studying abroad, a large part of their experience is to
come in contact with the local culture, and the best way to do this is to
stay in our homestay accommodation. Generally located outside the city
centre, homestay can offer you a huge number of options, including single
or shared rooms, half or full board and en suite or shared bathroom. You
can even choose one of our executive homestays, which are located
closer to the school.
RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATION
The residence is perfect for students who would like to live in university
style accommodation, where students live in large blocks of apartments,
with shared cooking and socialising facilities. We have a variety of
residential accommodations available in London and Dublin, to suit your
specific requirements. In London, the distances from the school range
from 20 to 45 minutes journey time*, and again students can choose to
have a private bathroom if they wish.

I arrived at Holborn station this morning at 8.40, so I could get to the school in
time for the induction and start my classes! I chose Delfin because I wanted to
improve my English while experiencing living in London its such a great city!
Delfin is right in the centre, so I can do lots of activities in the afternoons, its all
in walking distance. After my induction and speaking test activity, I was placed
into my classes. I chose to do a conversation class as my elective I could have
also chosen exam classes, or a business English programme. The Director of
Studies spoke with me about my learning objectives, and because I really want
to focus on my spoken English, he recommended the conversation class. I might
want to do an international English exam in the future, and can do a specialist
examination course next time I study abroad to prepare me for that.

WEDNESDAY
There are so many different activities to do in London! Something that really
attracted me to Delfin London was the activity and social programme, which is
really full and varied. Theres so much culture and history in London, its difficult to
know what to see and do, so following the Delfin social programme makes sense.
We went to a Museum Late last night lots of museums in London have them,
where they open in the evening, so you can have drinks (and sometimes dancing!)
while walking around the museum. It was great fun!

When you study in London, you are studying in a truly cosmopolitan city
100 languages are spoken in the city, and you really can experience so
many different cultures in one day! Food in the UK may not be so famous,
but London has more restaurants and cuisines than you could try in a life
time. I love Chinese food, and so I checked out China Town with some of
my classmates last night the dumplings were delicious, and its only 10
minutes walk from the school. Tonight, weve got the Pub Night, which
Im really looking forward to!

Last night was so much fun! The students and teachers from the school went to
Philomenas, and we got to spend some Delfin Dollars this is a special currency
just for Delfiners, which we get for being good students (doing well in our weekly
test, or participating a lot in class), and we can use it to buy drinks in our local pub
and caf. Its only been a week, but I really feel like part of the family already. Along
with all the fun, theres been lots of study too I had a test today, as we do every

LANGUAGE
PROGRAMMES
GE15
Students on this course will be studying the four main language skills
reading, writing, speaking and listening along with developing their grammar
and vocabulary. The focus of all of our GE15 courses is to develop your
communicative abilities and to activate your existing knowledge of English.
Lessons are generally based on everyday topics and are active, task-based
and relevant to daily life. Students have the choice of studying in the morning
(GEM15) or the afternoon (GEA15). Students can start on a GE15 course
every week.
Who should take this course?
GE15 is the best choice for students who want to combine learning English
with exploring London or Dublin.
GE20
General English 20 is our most popular course, as it allows students to combine
GE15 with an elective class. Students have the choice of taking GE20 in the
morning or the afternoon. We have a variety of elective classes running throughout
the year, including international communication, working in English, living in
Britain, and writing skills. In all of these elective classes students develop their
skills through debates and discussions, role plays, and class projects. Students
can start the GE20 course every week.
Who should take this course?
GE20 is ideal for students who need to put an extra focus on their speaking skills
for work, study or travel.
GE30
Students who take GE30 will be placed into classes in the morning and the
afternoon, every day, and will study for a total of 30 hours per week. The GE30
syllabus has been carefully designed to ensure that students on this course are
studying as wide a range of topics and language as possible. Students can start
on a GE30 course every week.
Who should take this course?
GE30 is ideal for students who want to maximise their learning while abroad.

EX15 / EX20
Students studying at Delfin have a number of options when it comes to examination
preparation. We have a range of 15 hour programmes running where students can
study to prepare for the PET, FCE, CAE, and IELTS examinations. We also have a
20 hour programme available, here students are placed in the general English class
for three hours, and then have focused exam preparation and practice during the fourth
lesson. Studying on the EX20 combines level-specific language development with
examination preparation, tailored to the international English examinations (Cambridge
language assessment and IELTS). Students can start on the EX20 course every week.
Who should take this course?
EX15 & EX20 are perfect for students who would like to prepare for one of the
international English language examinations.

SPECIALIST
PROGRAMMES
INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME
Joining the Delfin internship programme is a great way to improve your English and
get some valuable work experience at the same time. Students on our internship
programme start by taking a GE20 course at one of our schools, before moving on
to their work placement. The internship itself generally lasts between 3-6 months,
and can be with a variety of industries; many students find placements in the hospitality sector. Delfin will work closely with you to select the company where you will do
your placement, based on your previous work experience and interests.
AU PAIR + PROGRAMME
At Delfin English School we also offer an au pair + programme. Students on this
programme come to one of our schools to study English before starting as an
au pair with a British or Irish family. We can organise au pair placements through
Kangaroo Au Pairs, one of our partner companies.
MULTI-CENTRE COURSES
Both Dublin and London are fantastic cities, and it can be difficult to know which
one to choose! With Delfin you dont need to make a decision why not take
part of your academic programme in both! All of our academic programmes are
also offered on a multi-centre basis, so you can spend time in London and Dublin.
Alternatively, you can combine different courses why not start with a GE30 course
in London to really develop your English, and then move to Dublin for a Work and
Study programme to practice what youve learnt?
